Reading lists in Japanese, French and English, the only thing I can
see is that end users are extremely satisfied by the the work
achieved by the NeoOffice team to bring OOo to par with other native
(or close) OSX applications.
I agree. But it would be better firstly to get the base of both office
implementations bug free. Instead of getting 1.1.x codebase more
Mac-like the OOo 2.0 is much more important because it will be the
base for next releases also of NeoOffice/J.
That's Sun's opinion. And as Oscar wrote, there are only 2.5 people
working on NO. Considering the problem from the user's side, It is
clear that removing X11 dependancy from the code should be considered a
priority. X11 is an anomaly in the OSX world. OSX development does not
happen on the X11 base. X11 is only here to give access to legacy
applications.
If Sun thinks providing what looks like legacy applications on OSX is
an option, it is very possible that OSX users will not show much
interest in OOo.
Why can't Sun take the responsibility of working on removing X11
dependancy and still keep a portable code base ?
I do automated QA in my private time for both implementations but it
would be much easier to have one office and one team to speak with....
Are there practical ways to reach that point today ?
